        These children are having Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE). There is a lot of research already done in this area so in the future no one can deny that they knew exactly what they were doing.pic.twitter.com/rdlWKGrk4w

        1st reaction: bull, there can’t be such a rule 2nd reaction: then again, under this regime, maybe there is 3rd reaction: c’mon man, break the damn rule! Where is your #conscience (which, BTW, #HHS is supposed to protect!)?

        We should put all our lawmakers in a detention center. Left, right and center. They can stay there until they reach a compromise on comprehensive immigration reform. They are all to blame. They are using children while they play politics. Disgraceful. All of them!

        If you were designing a system to encourage teen and adult antisocial or criminal behavior (my DH says maybe even next generation of terrorists), wouldn't this emotional trauma be part of it?

        Those poor kids. If humans aren’t allowed to try to reassure them, I hope therapy dogs can visit until they are returned to their families. Trump is making completely unnecessary messes, and carelessly causing such suffering.

        the policy is a crime against humanity. hopefully someone can make it clear that the "I was just following orders" defence won't work when those responsible (from top to bottom of the chain) are on trial.

        It is not hard to qualify these experiences as ‘adverse’ and adverse childhood experiences (ACE-s) are linked to a host of problems down the road. See work by Shanta Rishi Dube and others. Very scary and sad. We’re not solving a problem but creating a huge one instead.
